Silver point means "silver brush"。However, the general public probably does not understand、It is a sport that is firmly connected to the essence of current sports.。pure silver、If you rub it against something harder than that、It scrapes and sticks there.。It oxidizes and darkens、Becomes as black as a pencil。Using a silver rod with the tip shaped like a pencil lead,、Painting using natural chemical changes、tool、The works are collectively called Silver Point.。
What happened?、Is it a substitute for a pencil?、isn't it。Silver is expensive、It takes time to oxidize。Cheap like pencil (graphite)、easy、It is not convenient to use。Besides,、A tedious step called “basework” is always required.。Conversely、I realized how great an invention the "pencil" was as a tool of civilization (even though it is becoming unnecessary in modern times)。

It is not only silver that oxidizes and darkens.。both iron and aluminum、There are many other metals that oxidize.。The drawings (materials) using these are collectively called metal points.、It seems that it is used for that purpose (I heard that you can draw pictures by rolling up aluminum foil and rubbing it).。But、Silverpoint is especially popular as an art material.、After all, it's probably because of the elegance that silver itself has.。Sea bream even if it rots、“Even if it rusts, it’s still silver” (is that an inappropriate analogy?)。By the way, "golden pens" should not exist.、right?

The painting in the photo has only been made for a few days.、Oxidation did not progress because there was no airflow.。In other words、Still in a “raw” state。I'm looking forward to seeing it after oxidation.。hectic modern times、Isn't this super slow production itself a luxurious time?。

I went to see the ``Saitama Prefecture Exhibition'' at the Museum of Modern Art in Kita Urawa.。Are you busy? I can't afford to go、Must see at least once。Considering the date, today was the only day.。My back hurt and I didn't want to go out.、I didn't like it because it was Buddha's extinction on the calendar, but、I was lucky that I didn't get caught in the rain.。

I thought about a lot of things while watching it.。first、Isn't the quality of the drawings declining?、I also felt。The barriers have been lowered and it has become easier to get selected.、whether there is a relationship。As sellers age in proportion to demographic trends, are their ideas becoming flat and outdated?。99I know that older sellers are working hard.、I think that's admirable though.、in the sense of exciting、Only the high school students' drawings looked interesting.。middle-aged and elderly、Let's try a little harder without giving up!

Shinshunkai exhibition has begun。This year Hoshino、Mr. Segawa withdrew from membership due to poor health.、Also、Chiyoko Takahashi passed away.。It will be an exhibition with a touch of loneliness.。I humbly pray for Mr. Takahashi's soul to rest in peace.。

Instead、The energetic sculptor Yuka Saito has joined us as a new member.。I'm so happy。This year marks the 38th year of the Chenchunkai Exhibition.。At first, the exhibition was started with the idea that ``all you have to do is hold it five times'' and it was well-received.、(All the members were young, too) I feel like we rushed through to the 20th episode just by having momentum.。20beyond the times、When I finally reached the stage where I was thinking about what to do next,、It’s almost 20 years again。It goes by so quickly。Generational change may also need to be sped up even more.。

After the display ended, the main topic of discussion among members was health and illness, such as back pain.。Almost all of you are at an age where you or someone in your family has such problems.。Of course I'm no exception.。It is only when we are alive that these things are reflected in our works.。That's probably the difference between works made with AI.。Please everyone、Please see the actual work。
